Well, if it helps, he's trans because of a diagnosed mental illness, not frivoulous bullshit. It's not a debate I wanna get into but he's not the liberal stereotype

2018-09-01 07:40:34 UTC  

Gender dysphoria is a fun topic for research nowadays

2018-09-01 07:42:12 UTC  

Wish it was better researched. I've had a lot of interesting debates with him about it but most of the solutions we've come to come done to speculation.

2018-09-01 07:42:52 UTC  

Pre-2007 it was essentially a low key thing

2018-09-01 07:43:06 UTC  

I wouldn’t mind it if it wasn’t shoved in my face by the left

2018-09-01 07:43:22 UTC  

I still think it’s icky but you do you

2018-09-01 07:43:38 UTC  

Now? I dislike them wholeheartedly

2018-09-01 07:44:05 UTC  

I cannot support trans gender people

2018-09-01 07:44:21 UTC  

Agree

2018-09-01 07:44:27 UTC  

It’s not the solution or treatment they need

2018-09-01 07:44:57 UTC  

Agreed. My bf agrees too, strangely enough

2018-09-01 07:45:29 UTC  

And when you look at the statistics on depression and suicide in trans people you it’s very clearly a bad idea

2018-09-01 07:45:35 UTC  

To him, transitioning is a last resort when medication and therapy fail. which, they sadly have for him. He's had it since he was 9.

2018-09-01 07:46:22 UTC  

Transitioning is a heavily flawed idea

2018-09-01 07:46:58 UTC  

It’s a questionable hardware solution to a software issue

2018-09-01 07:47:40 UTC  

“Doc chop off my arm, I’m actually a pirate”
“No, please take some antipsychotics”

2018-09-01 07:48:06 UTC  

One with gender dysphoria to that degree will not be “fixed” by mutilating their body

2018-09-01 07:48:19 UTC  

“Doc please chop off my dick”
“Congratulations Ma’am”

2018-09-01 07:48:28 UTC  

When all else fails transitioning is a suitible coping method, but the dangerous and experimental surgeries make it a huge danger. I don't think theres an argument against "soft" transitioning like name changes and crossdressing though.

2018-09-01 07:49:03 UTC  

The issue is the way society views gender dysphoria

2018-09-01 07:49:13 UTC  

There needs to be better solutions but they're not being persued, byecause people just leave it at "transition", ingoring the regret and suicide rates.

2018-09-01 07:49:23 UTC  

The issue is low key how society views gender

2018-09-01 07:49:32 UTC  

not to go all feminist

2018-09-01 07:50:05 UTC  

Gender doesn’t exist per say

2018-09-01 07:50:23 UTC  

Sex exists

2018-09-01 07:51:04 UTC  

It all boils down to biology

2018-09-01 07:51:25 UTC  

We have societal roles for the two sexes because they made sense for thousands of years

2018-09-01 07:51:30 UTC  

They still do, to some extent

2018-09-01 07:52:19 UTC  

I don’t think it’s bad to say men should support a family, for example

2018-09-01 07:52:28 UTC  

No, but we act like it does. It's actively enforced in some cases. IE the social stigma of crossdressing. At the core, theres no reason a skirt is "feminine", but a man is berated and called gay or trans if he decides he likes wearing them. This causes a lot of confusion for people who don't conform to these roles, and this is reinforced by the left who takes this confused people and tell them that they don't like skirts. Their problem is that they were born in the wrong body.

2018-09-01 07:53:43 UTC  

Gender norms exist for a reason because of natural differences between sexes. however, these differences already manifest naturally and there. Tehy don't need to be enforced.

2018-09-01 07:54:06 UTC  

Idk man I like cute girly girls

2018-09-01 07:54:17 UTC  

I don’t like having those distinctions removed

2018-09-01 07:54:46 UTC  

We live in a society where there’s a standard of normality that should be upheld

2018-09-01 07:54:52 UTC  

Indeed

2018-09-01 07:54:55 UTC  

Social norms are good

2018-09-01 07:55:10 UTC  

We have thots because of a collapse of social norms

2018-09-01 07:55:20 UTC  

Or, well, a major change in them anyway

2018-09-01 07:55:25 UTC  

Girly cute girls will exist naturally becasue females tend to be agreeable and open. However, "tomboys" have a personality that is traditionally masculine, and they shouldnt be forced to be feminine.

2018-09-01 07:55:38 UTC  

Not normal guy would want to be overly feminine

2018-09-01 07:55:45 UTC  

These norms will self enforce and those that don't conform are a better fit elsewhere.
